Summer and beyond...

Can't believe it's September already- (I always start a blog like that it seems!) Totally depressed by the lack of sun here in the UK these last months, very British of me I know to talk about the weather but it has been bloody awful!- There was one day back in May when it was hot and Bill and I stopped by Wilcos and picked up a £5, paddling pool, anticipation those long summer nights in the garden etc... not once- but anyway moan over- off for a 10 day break in Tenby at the end of this week and can't wait...
So the highs of the last few months-some fun gigs- the stand out ones were-
Opening for the very lovely Rachael Sage at the Green Note- always enjoy that venue- the food the atmosphere and was good to hang out with the other musicians...
Zac's Place in Swansea with Karen and Rosy- we managed to record some footage of that evening which I've posted on the myspace and will post a you tube link below here in a moment...
In recent weeks- opening for Jackie Leven at Barfly (a special mention to the Llanelli and Port Talbot groupies who were so encouraging!)I'd never heard Jackie perfom before and was very impressed with his songs and story telling...
The M.A.D.A (music against domestic abuse) Charity event in Exeter last week was great fun to be a part of.

Really enjoyed seeing Jose Gonzales and Cerys Matthews performing at The Tenby Folk Festival...

I am beginning to work at mixing the live recording that I made at The Point earlier this year- the theory is to have a product ready for Christmas- so fingers crossed that all will go according to plan!

So here's the you tube link to various videos from Hushland http://www.youtube.com/mrhushland -
